Dragon Ball Kai to air in Poland in April

[BartG]

Way better pay, you mean?

Yes, of course. That's what I get for posting right after I wake up, haha.

1) Nice. Super already had Tomasz Sliwiński (as Tien) and Ziemowit Pędziwatr (as Hit) who worked in Katowice in the past. So there's the possibility that more people like Ireneusz Załóg may show up in Kai's dub.

They've been recently working with Załóg on new episodes of Simon so he might show up if he has time.

2) Why do they still have to do that? I mean, why do they have to cast one actor for both kid and teen Gohan? Couldn't they just have called a real kid or a woman for kid Gohan?

This was a decision made for DBS, so I guess it's for consistency's sake. Goten got a lot of criticism but Kosmowski said he liked the performance so this doesn't come as a surprise, honestly.

Whoa, I had no idea that Ireneusz was already working with PDK. Good to know that.

Maybe I should check the Dubbingpedia more often.

But since Gajos isn't reprising, Kosmowski could've casted a kid or a woman who can do a convincing kid voice for Gohan for the first 98 episodes of Kai instead of a grown up dude who will do a ridiculous falsetto voice.

Just letting everyone know this has been delayed until May 8th.

OCEAN KAI VS POLAND KAI!? Who will BE the master of being postponed the most?

Just letting everyone know this has been delayed until May 8th.

Polsat Games should have prepared better because you can't announce something you don't even have (in this case, dubbed episodes) at the moment.

They should've waited for Studio PDK to dub, at least, 26 or 52 episodes before making the announcement of the premiere.

OCEAN KAI VS POLAND KAI!? Who will BE the master of being postponed the most?

Technically, they just recently announced Polish dub for Kai, unlike Ocean Kai

Ocean Kai may be released one day, but it will never be announced. Ocean Studios don't use social media (with the exception of a very seldom IPP Productions Facebook page) and historically their Dragon Ball content like the Westwood and Blue Water dubs just aired on TV (there were promos, but they were for the shows in general, not those dubs specifically).

Unfortunately the circumstances are completely different. Ocean Kai was recorded in full but lacked a TV deal, Polish Kai is the reverse, as it seems to still be in production while Polsat Games are prepared to air it.

A promo for the show aired today on Polsat Games. We can hear Piccolo and Gokū's voice actors from DBS as well as the voices for Nappa and presumably Raditz.
The promo claims the show will air today, but as you can tell from the video, DBS aired instead.

Too bad Kanzenshuu wont let people fix the title.

I see they gonna use Szatan Serduszko for Piccolo...they could at least went with Szatan Piccolo, like in manga Then again, from what i saw in first few episodes in Super, they kept some of RTL7 names for nostalgia reasons, like Komórczak/Cell...

Unlikely, since they've used Piccolo in the previous dubs. This is just a little joke for the promo.

The first episode just finished airing!
Here's the cast and crew:
https://dubbingpedia.pl/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z_Kai

Krzysztof Banaszyk, who voiced Gokū in the Polish dubs of Movies 12 and 13 (the only instance of dubbed DB before DBS), returned as Burdock!
The new voice for Gohan is Oskar Stencel, a 24 year old actor. I think he did pretty well in the first episode, almost sounded like an actual child at times.

[Cure Dragon 255]

Polsat has one of the cutest TV Station logos ever!

[coola]

Agreed

Also, watched 1st episode, translation is based on Japanese original (No Piccolo comment before attack, Bulma mouth moves, but no sound ) voices for Radditz and Gohan are pretty good.

[Tian]

Watched episode 1:
- Krzysztof Banaszk's casting as Bardock was a nice detail. His "Kakarot!" scream could've been a bit louder though.
- Sebastian Perdek's Baby Goku... a big no.
- Kinda weird that the Polish episode title didn't appear on the respective title card but in the first seconds of the cold opening.
- Oskar Stencel's Gohan surprised me. He sounded better than I expected and I gotta agree with BartG, there are times where he even sounds like a kid.
- Krzysztof Nowik's Farmer With Shotgun was perfect. They knew they had to be very careful with the casting of one of the most important characters of the franchise... Ok, I am kidding. The voice was great anyway.
- Zbigniew Diduch's Raditz was amazing. Too bad that Raditz just appears in the first episodes and one flashback because he's an excellent casting, specially due to the raspiness of his voice.

It appeared on the title card in the next episode. This text is made by Polsat so it's a problem on their end. Seems like this will be just an episode 1 anomaly, thankfully.

Actually, the titles don't show up in the next episode previews. Bummer.

[BartG]

Here's something interesting: in the preview for episode 4, Gohan calls Piccolo "Big Green". Likely an intentional reference.
Also, the two people who have worked on script adjustments so far, Kamil Sawciki and Mateusz Szymski, are both fans of the series and commuinty memebrs. You might recognize Mateusz from his Twitter account.

It's possible Toei didn't give them a clean version of Dragon Soul to dub over.
